Rudy Giuliani Won’t Back Down For Saying Obama Doesn’t Love America

Former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani joined Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on The Kelly File and refused to back down or apologize from remarks he made about President Obama on Wednesday.

“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani said at a private dinner. “He doesn’t love you. He doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up, through love of this country.”

Kelly began by asking if he would like to apologize for his comments–but he steadfastly refused, saying he actually wanted “to repeat it.”

“This is an American president I’ve never seen before,” he said. “From all that I can see of this president, all that I’ve heard of him, he apologizes for America, he criticizes America … I don’t feel it. I don’t feel the love of America.”

“I’m right about this,” he concluded. “I have no doubt about it; I do not withdraw my words.”
